Creating Team DynamicsContext of the Team

consists of:The OrganizationThe Team IdentityThe IndividualsYou will find these

through the 5 essentials.

Who Am I? Who Are You?In order to work as a

team, you must ask yourself and your employees this question

The more self-awareness each member has, the more actively they can contribute

The more they know of each other, the better they can tap into each others talents

Who Are We Together?This involves key

aspects of relationships and communication

Every individual deals with things in their own way

Establish ways of communicating in a way that doesn’t undermine the relationships

What Are We Here To DO?Be sure to clarify what

the work is before starting it

This will avoid conflict and waste of time

Don’t assume that everyone understands what to do just because you do.

Be sure that everyone has the same view

Take time to assess the goals mission and tasks for the team

How Are We Going To Do It?Most important issue

on a teamThis is where an

agenda is set; who does what, when will it be done.

Be aware of how everyone else wants to get it done, don’t expect others to do work the way you want it done

Be aware of individual talents

How Are We Doing? How Did We Do?Measure how you are

doingBe aware that different

personality types will have different perspectives of what is good and bad

Do not get stuck in your own preferences

Effective team work means understanding ourselves and how we are different from others
